Click to animate the 'Winds' satellite map of Antarctica

 


March 26, 2007

6 PM

There is an absence of surface winds over WAIS in animation where the heat is lingering. The only time there are mild winds noted over WAIS is 6 PM. The 9 PM and 12 PM satellite image is missing. Also noted when the air mass meets with warmer air at the north coast and west coast there is nearly a tornadic event that brings the surface winds to 35 to 40 MPH (15 to 18 km/hr) or higher. This occurs in the west as 6 PM but in the north it sustains during all images except . Otherwise, the patterns are not dissimilar to last with only this week there is an absence of heat over The Blue Ice.
